Whitefriars Dilly Duck??
« on: March 18, 2011, 11:13:39 AM »
I want to start a Dilly Duck collection (as if I havent got enough glass ducks), and saw this one listed, but it looks very different from the usual DD.  Is there a Whitefriars collector who can reassure me please?

Deffo not Whitefriars! He seems to list a lot of non-Whitefriars glass in the Whitefriars category.

Definitely not, as said above this seller constantly lists glass which is not Whitefriars and also gives ambiguous descriptions, calling them the catalogued and accepted Whitefriars colours................so beware. 

All the items on my sales blog are genuine Whitefriars if you'd like to take a look, Rosieposie. ;)

At least this time he is not claiming Whitefriars, just suggesting by using W/F colours!

But he is claiming it is Whitefriars vanmann, by putting it in the Whitefriars category!!! I will have to 'talk' to him! >:(

I didn't notice that, I just looked at description. I suspect on his past history  talking to him will have no effect whatsoever.

I have "messaged" him a million times, usually politely and initially offering him some help.................but he never replies!!!!  So if you get a reply, well done to you.

And the usual background display of genuine Whitefriars is particularly galling to me, and those photos which are never quite showing the item, usually taken from an odd angle too, are very deceiving.
